"Madam President, I support the compromises reached in this report, in particular, the country-of-origin labelling, because we are extending country-of-origin labelling to meat from pigs, poultry and sheep.
I think it is really important. Citizens want this information and they want it presented in a clear and unambiguous way. We have strict rules in the European Union regarding traceability from farm to fork. We have strict rules regarding protection of the environment and we have strict rules on ensuring animal welfare. Consumers demand this from their producers and I think it is essential that they are easily able to identify country of origin in order to make informed choices when they spend their money. Also, we have committed to examining within two years the possible extension of compulsory country-of-origin labelling to meat that is used as an ingredient.
I believe it is an important step in ensuring clear and unambiguous information to consumers when they are purchasing processed foods."@en1
